Ho sentito MoneyPoint stava chiudendo giù e chiedeva quanto venasse usato il carbone.
Mi chiedevo anche quanto era in fiamme. Questi dati hanno altri combustibili fossili che sembra significare petrolio e torba per noi.
Il vento è stato la più grande fonte di alcuni mesi dal 2016 che non sapevo.
Il solare è diventato una cosa evidente quest’estate ma sta chiaramente in crescita. Ho realizzato il secondo grafico in modo che possa essere visto come in una torba, solare, carbone e idro si fondono l’uno nell’altro.

Great charts. Probably not enough made of how strong the uptick in wind energy has been here.
Is it worth only putting the yearly average in and making a stacked bar chart.
Why is there such a regular annual variation in wind ? Is wind strength really that seasonal ?
Love to see it.
Great to see how much wind energy is generated – totally renewable. Hopefully innovations in storage dampen the effect of the variability.
Wot no interconnectors?
Would be great if we could see the increased prices in comparison…
Cool graphs!
Seems like solar & wind combined could create some stability across the seasons
Great news
Good charts.
Sad reality is that Irish people pay the highest energy prices in the world.
Solar is a proper area for growth. Speaking as someone who put about 6kw of panels on my roof, it’s virtually a no brainer for everyone to do the same. Pays for itself in 6 or 7 years. Took out a 5 year loan to pay for it, so my bills have dropped by a little bit less than the monthly repayment, but once the loan goes away in 2.5 years, the panels have a forecast efficiency of 80% after 30 years…
If you’re considering it, just go for I think. Obviously there’s other factors that can make the efficiency higher – e.g. my solar panels cover my electricity usage first, then excess heats my hot water tank up to temp next (I’ve a gas boiler and had an emersion switch for a second heating coil which the solar replaced). So they save me a bunch on my gas bill. Excess after that goes to the grid and I get a credit on my bill twice a year for 150 or so. I can install a battery soon (prob if/when I switch to an electric car) – I get super granular data about the panels and can calculate the exact size of battery to maximize the efficiency of the system.
